The BBC has apologised for showing a Nazi rally instead of the weather forecast yesterday.
The footage – from the German occupation of the Channel Islands – appeared on a BBC South West website meaning web users globally were able to see the error which was taken down in minutes.
A BBC insider told the Daily Mail: “This is another BBC cock-up. People in the Plymouth HQ were jumping up and down about it.
“Anyone looking at the weather website found images of Nazi rallies and the occupation of the Channel Islands which is a particularly sensitive issue.”
